The Abortion - Breast Cancer Link

Cordoba cheap hotelsAs the media and activist organizations of all sorts have expounded, breast cancer has risen dramatically in America by 50% since 1973 and is also increasing worldwide. Recent studies, though, have pointed out a dramatic relationship between the rate of abortion and the rising incidence of breast cancer. In fact, as the rate of abortion rises in America, so does the rate of breast cancer, with those women who have aborted having significantly higher rates.

Abortion interrupts natural changes in the breast, leaving millions of cells at high risk. Thus far, twenty-four studies have confirmed this relationship. Dr. George Bonney, Chairman of the Department of Biostatistics at Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia reported recent surveys conducted by the center also present evidence which strongly suggests an association between abortion and breast cancer. Although it hasn't been completely confirmed, Bonney believes "it probably will be revealed in future studies."

Dr. Bonney, who taught genetics and biostatistics at University of North Carolina, L.S.U., and Howard University, is considered the individual most knowledgeable in the statistical study of breast cancer. He has discussed a Howard University study and studies in France also showing the same correlations as found in various American research. Dr. Bonney indicates that "the breast cancer abortion link demands further research and studies" as well as additional media and organizational attention.
